If your movement is not funded by people that look like you your agenda will go south or in the interest of the people that are funding you.
This...this...this!!!!!!!! IT DOES MATTER WHO IS FUNDING THIS! Why is an organization called BLACK LIVES MATTER being funded by whites? (and don't give me that "We need allies" shyt...black people have NO allies. PERIOD)
Seriously...do people see how pathetic this looks?
Which proves what people been saying on here about BLM...they're not fighting for black empowerment, black solidarity, or anyting tangible to benefit the livelihood of black people as a whole on an economic or political level...they're fighting to be accepted by whites.
I mean...even the name "black lives matter" reeks of pandering to the status quo that refuses to give a fukk. No amount of emotional appeals, think pieces written for white publications like HuffPo and Salon, protesting, bumrushing of political campaign rallies, and whining and begging is going to do that.
They have no clear cut plans, no agenda, are willing to have anybody that's not black involved in it (meanwhile, organizations and movements from other races stay insular and segregated with no penetration from outsiders...which is why they are more effective). It's a recipe for failure.
